Sanket Pathak gears up as wild card entry for ‘Bigg Boss Marathi 6’- Exclusive chat

Marathi actor Sanket Pathak known for his films namely 'Dostigiri', Chhatriwali' and others is all set to spice up the drama inside Bigg Boss Marathi Season 6. Known for his grounded personality and steady presence on screen, Sanket is stepping into the high-voltage reality show space for the very first time. As the house witnesses shifting loyalties and growing groupism, the actor promises to bring a refreshing, positive vibe rather than aggressive gameplay.

In this exclusive conversation with ETimes ahead of his entry, Sanket opens up about his strategy, the contestants he finds smart, and why he believes positivity can be just as powerful as conflict inside the house.

Sanket on his strategy inside the Bigg Boss Marathi 6 house

So, what will be your strategy because the house is divided into groups now?

Right, right. They are currently in a phase of divide and rule. Somewhere, I believe we should always stay united because then we stand tall as we say, "United we stand, divided we fall". Everyone wants to stand strong, so that will be my strategy, I guess.

The smartest Bigg Boss Marathi 6 player

Whom do you think is playing the game very smartly right now?

We cannot put a finger on just one person. There are two or three players namely Vishal Kotian, Raqesh Bapat, Prajakta Shukre, who may not openly appear to be playing very well, but they might actually be playing a very smart game. These are a few names who seem to be playing well.

On his excitement and nervousness

Are you excited? What have you planned?

Definitely, I’m excited a little nervous but more excited. This is a completely new kind of show for me. I have never done anything like this before, so everything is new. I’m excited to meet new people whom I’ve never met in my life. There are different personalities, and by now I know who does what at least on camera. But I would like to know them personally as well. So yes, the excitement level is high.

On Rakhi Sawant’s impact in the Bigg Boss house

What do you have to say about Rakhi? She is the one making noise in the house. I think I’ll be friends with her. I have been following the show earlier there were three groups and they used to play among themselves. I will give credit to her for new energy to the house. I’m sure she has brought in a certain energy. That is something a show like this needs a sense of freshness. I’m also hoping the audience will see something fresh once I enter.

On bringing positivity amid negativity

What kind of freshness will you bring?

In the overall vibe. From what I’ve been seeing, there is too much negativity and too many fights. While that is part of the show, I think people also like watching positive things. It’s not necessary that only for content you must start shouting. The way I’ve been brought up, my life has always had a happy environment. I would like to bring that energy inside.

On whether he will join a group

Which group would you like to join? Or do you have a separate game planned?

To put it simply, without revealing too much of my strategy, I will go wherever it benefits me the most. If you put it in a business equation, I’ll go to the place where I can reap maximum profit. As simple as that.
